New York, NY, June 8, 2017 – Spectrum News NY1 (NY1) today announced it will present "Build It Broke," a 30-minute special about New York City’s “Build It Back” program, on Wednesday, June 14 at 8:00 PM. "Build It Broke," an eight-month investigative piece by NY1 Staten Island reporter Amanda Farinacci, will examine the hurricane recovery program designed to help New York City residents with properties damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
The special will include interviews with politicians, homeowners, contractors and “Build It Back” officials for an in-depth look into the city’s program to repair, rebuild and elevate homes damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
